Must-Know Tips for Selecting The RIGHT Fonts for Your Posters!

In the early stages of the design process, especially for poster design, as well as researching layout and style, it’s practical to think about typefaces.

Moving to the fourth step of our design process, here we delve into the art of choosing typefaces for our poster design.

Typography is not just about readability; it's about personality, tone, and impact. The right typeface can elevate your design, convey the right message, and resonate with a particular audience.

Before we start thinking about poster design layouts, it helps to have a good idea of the style of typefaces we will want to use, to capture the right result in our design when we come to lay out our posters later.

By deciding on our typography early, we ensure we consider options that are well thought out and are appropriate for our design solution.

This also offers a seamless transition into our artwork phase later, keeping our creative flow uninterrupted and saving precious time during the layout phase, where we can hit the ground running.

So to make the process of creating my artwork easier and to have something to start with, I like to be ready with at least a handful of typefaces.


In this part of the class, we'll explore how to choose typefaces that align with our Fonts, message, and aesthetics.

Let's dive into the world of typography, and prepare ourselves for a smooth and efficient process.


So let’s get into it!
